• How long can a moist berry,
    Survive in a deciduous mind?
    Who will protect the darling fruit,
    From the starving soul?
    So that it may ripen and bloom
    Into full nutrition.
    And once plucked from its juvenile branches,
    May be squeezed into life.
    Marrow of wisdom,
    Concentrated, stinging, clear, precise
    And pure.
    Until truth flows through the air,
    Trickling through the ages,
    Landing on the newest fool,
    For the harvest of the flies.
